    It is amazing how much the rainforests of the world give to our every day living. It is a shame that so many people are so neglegent with the resources of the rainforest. There are ways we can help at home and make a difference. We can only make a difference if we work together.

    Hi Mrs. Zivko,

    You will be glad to know that I have already done some research on my animal, the jaguar, and I learned that they are the biggest cats in Americas. The jaguar is the lord of the Myan jungle .Isn\’t that neat.

    I feel about the rainforest is they should not cut down tree we need tree everybody.

  5. jbzivko Says:

    Some questions to think about as you read and research your animal:

    Can you think what these threats may be that affect rain forests?
    Are there any solutions to this problem?
    If these problems cost money to solve, who should pay?
    Who (be specific) will be affected by the changes?
